• Verify labeling requirements of the destination country and confirm shipments meet them before departure
• Resolve problems concerning transportation, logistics systems, imports/exports, and customer issues
• Monitor product import and export processes to ensure compliance with all regulatory and legal requirements
• Successfully manage international shipments from point A to point B, presenting effective solutions to clients that meet their specific requirements
• Arrange bookings with airlines, ocean carriers, co-loaders, and all other relevant parties

International Importing Programs

• Coordinate incoming international shipments end-to-end, including:
• Freight forwarder coordination and booking
• Customs clearance and broker communication
